Track like the pros. Play smarter. Drop strokes fast.
Roundabout’s Trends dashboards turn raw stats into clear momentum lines, so you can spot improvement—or slippage—before it shows up on your scorecard. They live alongside the rest of your analysis tools, and they update automatically after every round.
Open the Trends dashboards
Device | Path | Tip |
iPhone | Home → Virtual Coach→Trends (improving or declining)→ See Details | See charts for Strokes Gained charts split into Driving, Putting, Short, Approach, Tee2Green, and Total Strokes Gained. Swipe left/right Additional insights (listed in the What you’ll find & how to use it table below) |

What you’ll find & how to use it
Trend Chart | Where to tap | What it tells you | Action to take |
Handicap Trend | Analyze → Strokes Gained → swipe until you see Handicap | Blue line = Roundabout HC after every round. | Plateau for 5+ rounds? Revisit Strokes Gained Strength & Weakness chart (at the top of the Analyze screen) which will indicate where you're performing poorly relative to your target handicap (driving, approach, short, or putting) |
Strokes Gained (Total & by Area) | Analyze → Strokes Gained to see stacked bar chart. Swipe to see Driving, Approach, Short-Game, Putting | Lines show 1, 5, 10, 20- or All-round rolling average selected via the filter button at the bottom right of the chart. | Line Slope ↑ = keep the routine. Line slope ↓ = move that area to top of practice list. |
Scorecard Wreckers | Virtual Coach → Eliminate Mistakes → See Details | Tiles track 3-putts, 2-chips, and penalties per round.  | Cut the highest number first—it’s the fastest stroke saver. |
Fairways & GIR % | Analyze → Driving Accuracy / Greens Per Round | Percentage over time for tee shots & approaches. | If GIR dips while Fairway % rises, work on distance control, not direction. |
Driving Distance Trend | Analyze → Driving Distance | Longest Drive (black) and Average Drive (blue) with dots for each round. For this chart, “Drives” are tee shots on holes with par = 4 or greater (par 3s and below are excluded as they often don’t require a player to use their full driving distance) | Pair with Club Gapping—update Smart Distances when the line shifts. |
Putting Trend | Analyze → Putting | Make % by distance band and 3-putt rate. | To improve putting focus on distance band with worst strokes gained putting performance. In general, players will always miss more on longer putts, but strokes gained corrects for this effect. |
Example: The left-most column (putts < 3ft) has the highest success rate of shots made, but it also has the worst strokes gained value, so this player should focus time here to improve rather than improving their performance on longer putts because it’s likely to be higher ROI on time spent practicing.

Customize your view
Time window: Tap the date filter (top right of the Analyze and Virtual Coach tabs. On the chart tabs, it is found on the bottom right. This lets you toggle # of rounds, date range, and types of rounds to include.
Tap-to-inspect: Touch any point to see the exact stat for that round and jump straight into the Round Review screen.
Turn lines into lower scores
Set micro-goals. Aim for a –2 SG shift or +5 % GIR over the next 10 rounds instead of vague “get better” targets.
Validate practice. After a week of wedge work, open the Short-Game SG line—green climb means drills are working.
Spot early warning signs. A creeping rise in 3-putt rate tells you to schedule a putting check-up now, not after the blow-up round.
Share with a coach. Screenshot any chart to give instructors concrete data—they’ll love the clarity.
Pro tips
Log every round. Gaps in data = jagged, unreliable trends.
Sync weather. Eagle Subscribers can use Virtual Caddie to get “plays-like” adjustments that help keep Driving Distance honest on windy days. Users who aren't on the Eagle subscription plan will not have driving distances adjusted for wind and elevation. Upgrade your subscription here.
Celebrate dips. When Handicap Trend crosses inside your target band, drop the target another 3–5 strokes to keep pushing.
